  O--------------------------------------------------------------O
    The opinions expressed in this article are my own and do not
     necessarily reflect the opinions of the MITRE Corporation.

I just had an idea.  The corporation's lawyers (Robeson Gray) advised
against allowing an employee to state sexual preference in an ad.  But
maybe they'll allow me to use some euphemism like "alternative lifestyle".

If anyone out there knows of any other fairly direct euphemisms, drop me a
line.  My goal is to clue in as many gay people as possible to the fact that
I'm gay  AND  to dissuade people likely to react unfavorably to my gayness
BUT without coming out and saying that I'm gay.  Got that?
